94 THE ENTOMOLOGIST ’S RECORD. 
(C.) flavus, A. (D.) niger, and Myrmica laevinodis, all four occurring in 
my garden). Winged and deilated ? @ were found on the pavements 
round about, and one dealated ? was running on the stonework path 
near a small niger nest in my garden, carrying a niyer 8 which was 
not quite dead in her jaws. 
Formica easecta Nyl.—In July I received a letter from Mr. J. J. F. 
X. King, who was staying at Rannoch, stating that the ewsecta nest 
which I discovered near the Loch at Rannoch, on July 11th, 1911 
(see photograph, British Ants, plate xvi., p. 278) is still in the same 
spot, not having been disturbed. 
Formica sanguinea Latr.—On August 17th I visited the colony of 
F, sanguinea containing pseudogynes at Woking. The nest was in the 
same spot it occupied last year, and numerous % cocoons were 
present. A number of these were taken home and introduced into my 
sanguinea observation nest, and when they hatched later some of them 
proved to be pseudogynes. 
Formica fusca L.—A single winged ? was captured flying in my 
garden at West Worthing on July 15th. 
COLEOPTERA. 
Claviger testaceus Preys.—Dr. Chapman kindly gave me a specimen 
of Claviyer which he had taken in a nest of Myrmica scabrinodis at 
Betchworth, on September 22nd, 1917.

The second part of the fourteenth volume of the Etudes de 
Lépidoptérologie. comparée is concerned with the genus Aetinote, 
the South American representative of the Acracidae. It begins 
with a criticism of Dr. Jordan’s treatise on the genus in Seitz’s Macro- 
lepidoptera of the World. The criticism is not, indeed, of Dr. Jordan, 
but of the Editor and Publishers, who promised “ the classification of 
each butterfly at first sight, no longer any museum or private collec- 
tion with unclassified butterflies.” M. Oberthur finds, however, that 
the species of Actinote figured are chiefly long and well known species, 
but that the new forms and species described by Dr. Jordan are rarely 
ficured. He trusted to the ease and certainty of the determinations, 
which he expected to find by consulting the work, and he complains that 
his hopes have been deceived. In this Fascicule he completes by means 
of the specimens in his collection at Rennes, the work published by 
Seitz, chiefly founded on the examples in the British Museum and at 
Tring. Fifty-one species are discussed, and there are 57 figures. 
Under the head of Actinote anteas, Doubl., he discusses at length the 
difficulties due to want of figures of the forms described by Dr. Jordan, 
and commends the Doctor’s dictum, ‘“‘ We have not reached satisfactory 
results.”” M. Oberthiir says we are left like Theseus, in a labyrinth, 
but with no Ariadne to extricate us by a guiding thread, in this case 
the necessary figures. He does not hesitate a moment, he regards as 
nil and non-existent all names not illustrated by a figure, and without 
hoping to clear up all difficulties, will do his best, with M. Culot’s aid,
